Race Overview

The All-Japan Triathlon Miyakojima (全日本トライアスロン宮古島大會, official site) is one of the oldest long-distance triathlons in Japan, and 2026 marked the 40th edition. It’s held every April in Miyakojima City, Okinawa, with around 1,510 slots. It’s the island’s biggest annual event and a bucket-list race for many Japanese triathletes.

After finishing Miyakojima last April, I reviewed the race on my way back to Tokyo. Overall it went pretty smoothly. I forgot my bike computer at the start — nerves — so I rode the entire bike leg on watch data and feel. Coming out of T2 I felt good, but then went out too fast in the first few kilometers of the run. I faded in the middle section and only picked it back up near the finish. This year I’m writing a pre-race log ahead of time so I can compare targets against actual results afterward.
